Have y’all received the new KP catalogue? Mine came in the mail today, and I am 
the hat, glove, and scarf patterns!!!
Gosh…I cannot wait for my school term to be OVER! I plan on knitting my little heart out during Christmas!!!
i got it, but i haven’t gotten a chance to look all the way through it yet. i’ve been experimenting with a stitch pattern i want to incorporate into some fingerless gloves and i’m really excited about it. plus, i got a box from KP today (yep - a box, [I]not [/I]an envelope - i have arrived! :teehee: ) with my harmony cable needles i need for several patterns (including the one i mentioned). i’ve been busy petting them. [I]my [/I]are they SMOOTH! :mrgreen:
I have ordered from them, so I sure hope I get one soon! (Like I don’t have enough WIPs and WIMs…)

does KP charge for their catalogs? I know some places do…
No they’re free. Go to the website and request one, or give them a call if you don’t want another login.
I love how they changed the format of their catalogs. They are doing a wonderful job now. 
I have it & I have looked through it. It looks like a great time to buy a few knitting books. Save 32 & 34% off. they are like yarn, Ya just can’t have enough :woot:
Yes…they are really doing a great job. I love the tips they include in the center of the catalogue each month.
BTW, once you start ordering regularly, you’ll start getting the catalogues. So, place about three or four orders, and you’ll be set to go. :teehee:
Oh, did you see the sock samplers on the back? 
Haven’t got my new one yet, but what I love about them, is not only do you get to look at all the wonderful stuff, but they always include helpful information! I read it from cover to cover!
I ordered the sock yarn sampler… (guess that was an older catalogue?) and the yarns are NICE!!!
I am so in love with the mittens on page 23 (of the HOliday 2007 catalog) The only problem is that they are in a book and I just have a hard time purchasing a book to get one pattern. 
I may have to see if I can find the book at the bookstore to see if I like it first. If I find several patterns in there I’d order it, but $20+ for one pattern just hurts!
Why don’t you buy the book, get the pattern(s) you want, then sell the book here or on Ebay. You’ll recoup most of your cost and be able to share the book with another knitter.
I ordered one of those sock samplers. The warm one and it was beautiful. They put the wrong multi one in and someone said if I call they will send me the right one for free and allow me to keep the wrong on. They did. great customer service!
Which sampler did you get? I bought the warm one.
Well that would take coordination and motivation. And I hoard books, so it would be hard to get rid of even if I never knit anything from it again KWIM? I May see if I can get it through bookmooch or half.com. Ya never know.
You could see if your library has it, or can get it on interlibrary loan.
Apparently I’m banned from my library. Seems as though someone with the same name as me (different address, different social, different driver’s number, etc etc etc) never returned 25 books. For some reason everytime I’ve tried to fight it they tell me there is nothing they can do. The computer thinks I’m the same person. I can’t even get library cards for my kids, which they offered to do because the system again tried to link them to the other Michelle. It’s yet one more reason I want to MOVE! I miss the library. 
Dear Knitncook, I feel for you. I too would feel incredibly frustrated if I was unfairly banned from library access. I used to live in a small town with a tiny one-room library, so I had to get creative about providing children’s books for my kids. Here are some ideas:
- Perhaps another county library system may have a different computer system that won’t flag your application for a card? I think most counties will allow you to pay some nominal non-resident fee and join their library system. Once you join any of that county’s libraries, you can usually use the card anywhere in that county.
- Alternatively, there are some online libraries these days, but they only have electronic versions of books.
Good luck! I do hope a solution appears for you soon!
oh, I forgot another idea I used – universities often have courtesy memberships to their libraries for local residents – you may be able to join the library of a local university.
The one with the blues and purples - the cool one. Nice yarn!!! Great colors. I find I buy the majority of my sock yarn there.
:whistle:
